The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

Maybe when they provide notifications w/o Google services???

We can only hope.

That is what I have installed. What I'm looking for is for Proton to stop expanding until all platforms have the same features for all their services.

I've done so many times, thanks.

Users have been asking for more Linux support for years and barely anything changes.

I can relate. They usually tend to go for basic features for max reach, but they're just slow, maybe due to their size. At least everything is faiely stable compared to other services I've seen
